AhlulBayt News Agency: This publication, like other Pentagon-affiliated outlets, has blamed Iran for the crises in Africa's coastal regions.
According to Pars Today, the American publication Newsweek, in an article written by authors affiliated with Israel, has stated: While the United States and the Israeli regime focus on the threats posed by local powers linked to Iran from Lebanon to Yemen, Tehran is quietly creating other local powers that will soon pose a serious threat to US interests."
This publication claims that these new powers are located in the strategic region of Africa's coastal areas, and Iran is taking advantage of the weakness of Western imperialism to strengthen the economic and military capabilities of these countries.
This publication advises US officials and the Israeli regime to take bold steps to counter the empowerment of these communities and regions before it's too late.
The coastal region has suffered widespread damage due to the lack of internal power and the presence of Western colonialism and US interventions, which has led to many instabilities since 2020.
Countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Niger, Gabon, Chad, and Sudan have all witnessed coups or the emergence of military governments influenced by the political-economic legacy of colonialism.
This legacy and Western interventions, regardless of the challenges, have also allowed the emergence of fake groups that exploit Islamic names and identities.
Previously, for example, the Israeli regime intervened in Sudan through Western institutions and caused its fragmentation. Interestingly, this publication, like other Pentagon-affiliated outlets, has blamed Iran for the crises in this part of Africa.
According to the article in this publication, Sudan, under the leadership of 'Abdel Fattah al-Burhan', the current head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, joined the Abraham Accords with Israel in October 2020 in exchange for US promises of support. However, after al-Burhan dissolved the Sudanese government council in 2021, the United States pressured Israel to not upgrade its relations with Khartoum, and it was only after that that the devastating civil war in Sudan suddenly erupted in 2023.
According to the Newsweek article, al-Burhan, due to the West's past behavior towards Sudan, had no choice but to turn to Tehran for security assistance and necessary aid.
The Newsweek author implicitly suggests in their article that Iran is seeking to strengthen Niger's capabilities in uranium production. Of course, the author also makes the claim that this could serve Iran's nuclear program.
The Newsweek article sounds the alarm about another danger, namely Iran's efforts to strengthen its ties with Mali, Burkina Faso, and other coastal countries, which is a concern for the hegemonic, Western powers.
Additionally, the article warns about Iran's support for Chad and Mauritania's economic independence.
Interestingly, the Newsweek author, in a subtle move, has mentioned the name of Israel together with Egypt and Saudi Arabia, implying that Iran poses a threat to all three countries.
Iran, since the era of Martyr Dr. Raeisi, has seriously pursued the development and strengthening of relations with Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The article in this publication, which sometimes reveals its alignment with the Pentagon, instead calls on the United States and its allies, including Israel, to find ways to weaken the relationships between African coastal countries and other non-Western regions, such as Iran, China, and Russia, and to increase pressure on these countries through issues like democracy and human rights.
The author of this article for Newsweek is Ronen Levi, the former director-general of the Israeli ministry of foreign affairs and a senior member of the Misgav National Security Institute, and Asher Fredman, the director of the Misgav Institute.
